DECATUR CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL TO RETURN TO DOWNTOWN DECATUR

DECATUR CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL TO RETURN TO DOWNTOWN DECATUR

DECATUR, IL – The Decatur Area Arts Council (DAAC) is bringing the
Decatur Craft Beer Festival to Central Park in Downtown Decatur!

Decatur Craft Beer Festival (DCBFest) will be taking over Central Park
on Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. While the event is
returning to downtown, this will be the first time it is hosted in
Central Park.  Jerry Johnson, executive director of the DAAC, explained,
“The Arts Council is always excited to host events in our downtown
neighborhood and Central Park is such a cozy location with plenty of
room for all we have planned.”

For the past two years, the DAAC had partnered with the Decatur Parks
Foundation to present the Devon on Tap at the Devon Lakeshore
Amphitheater.  With the move back downtown, the event will be managed
solely as a fundraiser for the DAAC.

The event will feature brewers from all over the Central Illinois region
serving samples of their own beers. Festivities will include live music,
visual artists, food trucks, games, and more.

A VIP event will be held on Friday, May 12 from 7-10 pm inside the DAAC.
  At the VIP event, guests will sample rare and hard to find beers and
ciders not available at the festival along with delicious hors
d’oeuvres.
